[00:09.270]Happy Birthday
[00:10.820]
[00:17.000]so make a wish
[00:19.080]
[00:20.010]Please accept my apologies wonder what would have been
[00:23.110]Would you've been a little angel or an angel of sin
[00:25.670]Tom-boy running around hanging with all the guys
[00:28.420]Or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes
[00:30.980]I payed for the murder before they determined the sex
[00:33.430]Choosing our life over your life meant your death
[00:36.020]And you never got a chance to even open your eyes
[00:38.440]Sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you faught for your life
[00:41.000]Would you have been a little genius in love with math
[00:43.540]Would you have played in your schoolclothes and made me mad
[00:46.100]Would you have been a little rapper like your papa da Piper
[00:48.770]Would you have made me quit smokin' by finding one of my lighters
[00:51.510]I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose
[00:53.940]And the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow
[00:56.360]Think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
[00:58.890]Happy birthday love you whoever you woulda been
[01:01.570]Happy birthday
[01:02.500]All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
[01:07.130]Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
[01:12.400]All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
[01:17.630]Was as real as it seemed
[01:20.870]I made a mistake
[01:22.020]I've got a millon excuses to why you died
[01:24.590]Bet the people got their own reasons for homicide
[01:27.110]Who's to say it woulda worked, and who's to say it wouldn't have
[01:29.740]I was young and strugglin' but old enough to be your dad
[01:32.270]The fear of being a father has never disappeared
[01:34.900]Pondering frequently while I'm zippin' on my beer
[01:37.380]My vision of a family was artificial and fake
[01:39.950]So when it came time to create I made a mistake
[01:42.290]Now you've got a little brother maybe he's really you
[01:44.940]Maybe you really forgave us knowin' we was confused
[01:47.650]Maybe everytime that he smiles it's you proudly knowin
[01:50.490]That your father's doin' the right thing now
[01:52.620]I never tell a woman what to do with her body
[01:55.070]But if she don't love children then we can't party
[01:57.650]Think about it every year so I picked up a pen
[02:00.170]Happy birthday love you whoever you woulda been
[02:02.840]Happy birthday
[02:03.810]All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
[02:08.670]Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
[02:13.670]All I thought was a dream (yeah make a wish)
[02:18.750]Was as real as it seemed
[02:21.820]I made a mistake
[02:23.350]And from the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
[02:25.780]From the endin' to the endin never got to begin
[02:28.260]Maybe one day we could meet face to face
[02:30.900]In a place without time and space
[02:32.770]Happy birthday
[02:33.490]From the heavens to the womb to the heavens again
[02:35.940]From the endin to the endin never got to begin
[02:38.470]Maybe one day we could meet face to face
[02:41.030]In a place without time and space
[02:43.080]Happy birthday
[02:44.640]All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
[02:49.420]Was as real as it seemed (happy birthday)
[02:54.520]All I thought was a dream (make a wish)
[02:59.410]Was as real as it seemed
